After graduating from New Dorp High School, he earned a degree in electronic technology from DeVry University. He then spent several years repairing electronics for NBR, Minolta and Savin.

Mr. Moran enjoyed watching sports, especially the Mets and the Giants. But he was an even bigger fan of “Jeopardy!” so much that he named his dog after the television game show.

“He was a smart guy with a lot of wit,” said his sister, Erin Dimino. “He was a very caring and gentle person who was devoted to his family.”

In addition to his sister, Erin, he is survived by his companion of more than 20 years, Agnes Camello; three more sisters, Ella Moran, Theresa Balzano and Jennifer Rivera; a brother, Jack Murphy; a stepson, Christopher Camello, and a stepdaughter, Melissa Kotowicz.

The funeral will be tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. in the Colonial Funeral Home, New Dorp. Burial will follow in Ressurection Cemetery, Pleasant Plains.
